I am trying to render my splash page using the front page module but its not working out.

Upon receiving a htm file and an image from my designer, I did the following:

- Pasted the html code from the htm file into the box in front page
- Selected the option which allows you to have a completely different layout and style sheet.
- Uploaded the image/splash page into the folder where I have drupal installed.

here is the HTML code that I pasted into front page:

Welcome to xyz Beta

Only local images are allowed.

I would really appreciate any pointers on what I might be doing wrong. Perhaps its something simple.
Thanks

Looks like my code got stripped off. So am attaching a file.

I just figured out that I am not calling the splash page/image from the CSS in the HEAD of the document as front page wants. Not sure how to do this since I am new to CSS and drupal. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

create a folder called /images/ under your drupal root folder. upload your jpeg to that folder.
change the line referencing the image to src="/images/intro_pg.jpg"

in other words, it's a path problem
hope that helps
